FINANCE:
CONCERN WAS EXPRESSED THAT NO REGISTRATION FEE HAD BEEN RECEIVED FROM WATERFRONTWITH THE ADDED LATE PAYMENT FINE THIS AMOUNTED TO £103 WHICH WILL INCREASE BY A FURTHER £20 FROM THE END OF THE MONTH. FURTHERMORE THE COMMITTEE DECIDED TO PENALISE WATERFRONT WITH AN ADDITIONAL
10 POINT REDUCTION IF THE BILL WAS NOT SETTLED BY 30TH APRIL.
The chairman is to contact Asaf in the hope he will be responsive.
THERE WERE NO OTHER OUTSTANDING DEBTS
AN INVOICE HAS BEEN ISSUED TO THE SPONSOR WHO HAS BEEN REQUESTED TO FORWARD THE SPONSORSHIP DIRECTLY TO THE TREASURER £800
TROPHY AND REFRESHMENT BILLS WERE SETTLED UP TO END OF MARCH
HIMLEY GENEROUSLY PAID THEIR REGISTRATION FEE ON TWO OCCASIONS,
ONE AMOUNT WILL BE RETURNED.
WE HAVE RECEIVED DATA FROM SANTANDER STATING THAT THEY CANNOT ISSUE THE LEAGUE WITH A DEBIT CARD (SIGNATURE RULES) AND THAT INITIALLY FOR SECURITY NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES OF PERSONNEL WILL BE COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE ORIGINAL POST HOLDER (ANTI FRAUD)
HANDBOOKS
CHANGES ARE ON THE WEBSITE
WILDEN MAY WELL REVERSE THEIR FIRST FIXTURE V HARE AND HOUND DUE TO THE DELAYED LAYING OF THEIR NEW ARTIFICIAL (TO BE CONFIRMED)
UMPIRE ISSUES
THERE ARE CURRENTLY A NUMBER OF FIXTURES WITH JUST ONE UMPIRE.
ATTEMPTS ARE BEING MADE TO RECTIFY THIS
A RECENT JUDICIAL RULING HAS BEEN FOLLOWED BY THE ISSUEING OF THE BOOKLET “GROUND, LIGHT & WEATHER FOR UMPIRES”. THIS HAS ONLY JUST BEEN CIRCULATED TO UMPIRES CREATING A REACTION LIKENED TO A WAR DANCE. SADLY THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE NOT AS YET FELT THE NEED TO INFORM THOSE WHO ARE PLAYING THE GAME, THEIR AFFILIATED CLUBS…THE GRASS ROOTS.
THE ISSUES RAISED WILL AFFECT ALL CLUBS WITH LEGAL IMPLICATIONS WITH REGARD TO ITS PRESSURE ON UMPIRES DECLARING CONDITIONS FIT FOR PLAY.
THE IMPLICATION WILL BE NOT TO PLAY IF THERE EXISTS ANY REASONABLE DOUBT.
THE COMMITTEE HAVE DECIDED TO CALL A MEETING OF ALL TEAM CAPTAINS ON
THURSDAY 28TH APRIL AT WILDEN VILLAGE AT 7.30P
LASTING 30 MINUTES TO ENLIGHTED ALL PLAYING IN OUR LEAGUE.
ALL TEAMS ARE REQUESTED TO SEND AT LEAST ONE REPRESENTATIVE.
AS A COMMITTEE WE ARE SEEKING TO OBTAIN COPIES OF THIS BOOKLET, ONE PER TEAM.
FUND RAISING
PROPOSED SIXES TOURNAMENT:
WE HOPE TO MAKE A FIRM DECISION AND PROPOSED DATES AND VENUE AT THE JUNE MEETING. IN THE MEANTIME WE WILL BE SAMPLING OPINION RE VENUE, DATES, TIMES AND FORMAT. HAVE YOUR INPUT!
CLOTHING RULE 37
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF, ANYONE WHO HAS A GENUINE ALTERNATIVE CLOTHING REQUIREMENT WHEN ON THE FIELD OF PLAY, THEY COULD PRESENT THE NECESSARY AUTHORISED DOCUMENTATION TO THE COMMITTEE TO AVOID PAPERWORK AND THE UNNECESSARY PROCESS OF REPORTING AND HEARINGS.
WEBSITE
THIS IS BEING UPDATED AS QUICKLY AS TIME PERMITS WITH THE 2016 RULES AND UMPIRE LISTS STILL TO BE ADDED.
AZIZ IS UNDERTAKING TO DO LIKEWISE WITH OUR PLAY CRICKET SITE.
